Sending one or more Farm links in a Message




Another way to help farmers meet other farmers that need Neighbours and Buddies is to send a farm link in a message.

Although you can always send your own farm link you can also send other farmers farm links who are your Neighbours or Buddies.

You can send one link or several links in a single message.

To send farm link(s) in a message:
  • Choose any of these methods that you wish to use to send the Message:

    1. When you can see the farmer you want to send the farm link to. Click on on their Avatar, then click on Send Message to xxx

    2. If it's a Neighbour, you could click on the Neighbour in your Neighbours bar that you want to send the farm link to, then click on Send Message to xxx

    3. You can also use the Message Icons in your Farmer Lists (My Neighbours, My Buddies, Facebook Friends). Click on the little Note pad next to the farmer you want to send a message to.

    4. You can also send one when you click on Reply after reading an in game Message.

    5. You can also use the Message Icon that shows at the bottom of co-operative quest windows, when scrolling through co-operative quests. This can be useful when someone needs help with a co-operative quest.



  • At the bottom right of the message box, you will see Insert Farm Link.


  • Click on Insert Farm Link if you wish to send a Farm Link to someone.

  • You will have 2 options to choose from:


  • Clicking on To Current Farm inserts the link for the farm you are currently on.

    That could be someone else's farm if you are not on your own farms. It inserts the farm link for the farm that you are currently on.

    If you want to send your own farm link, make sure that you are on one of your own farms before you click on Insert Farm Link.

    If you are sending you farm link to meet up with farmers on a specific one of your farms, make sure that you are on the farm that you want to meet them on AND that your farm is not set to Private.

    If you send a farm link while you are on one of your Private farms, what happens when the receiver clicks on the link in the received message is it will take them to one of your farms that is not Private!



  • Clicking on To Another Farmer opens a small window called Pick a Farmer



    You can change this view to a another group of farmers by clicking on the funnel filter top right:



    All Will show both your Neighbours and your Buddies
    My Neighbours will show just your neighbours
    My Buddies will show just your Buddies.

    Use the scroll bar to the right of the box to scroll to find your Neighbour/Buddy.

    IMPORTANT! - Avatar names are not exclusive, meaning you could have several farmers using the same avatar name as another farmer. You need to be sure that you have the right farmer before you proceed!!


    To insert the link into your message, click on Pick next to the name of the farmer whose farm link you want to send and the link will show up in blue text underlined with that farmers name in it.

    You can also add a message if you wish.
    You can also add more than one farm link if you wish.

    If you want to send more than one link, just click on Insert Farm Link again, find the next farmer and click on Pick again.

    If you make any mistakes you can either delete the contents of the message and start over before you send it.

    Or you can click the red X top right of the message box to cancel sending the message which will close it.
  • To send the Message click on Send bottom left of the message window.

  • When the farmer you send the message to reads the message it will look similar to this:


  • They can then click on that blue text to take them to that farmers farm.
